Hear the drums of Hawaii
Beating out a story
Beating out a legend
Of love and its glory
Oahu Oahu
There's a strange hula hula
Known to each Wahee-ni
That can cast a spell
On the poor malahee-ni
Oahu Oahu
There's an ancient spell
Honolulu knows well
Ukulele magic
By the silvery sea
Beauty hula will never, ever set you free
Hear the steel guitars
Serenading the stars
Thrilling and bewitching
In the haunting refrain
Beauty hula within your heart it will remain
Oahu Oahu
